title: [Basophil activation test as in vitro assay for cisplatin allergy].
abstract: During chemoembolization with gemcitabine, mitomycin and cisplatin of a cholangiocellular carcinoma and after receiving iodide contrast media, a 49-year-old patient developed a grade III anaphylactic reaction. We were asked to verify an adverse reaction to contrast media. Using the basophil activation test, we demonstrated a hypersensitivity reaction to cisplatin with distinct induction of CD63-expression on basophilic granulocytes.
